  • "The Bothy looks nice on the pictures."

    It took 20 minutes to find where we were staying as there is no sign on the lane stating the Bothy. On entering the accommodation found painting dirty along with dirty mirrors and glass doors and shower screen. No kitchen utensils.Pots and pans need replacing The hot tub and views was enjoyable

  • "The location is incredible but it was particularly malequipped."

    We searched high and low and could find no spatula. I had to cook eggs with a meat cleaver. The kitchen was missing a lot of what I consider essential. The mattress in the main bedroom was beyond reproach. When I sat on the edge of the bed, the top touched the bottom.

  • "The setting was beautiful!"

    The bed was very uncomfortable, the heating comes on when you light the fire, this was not an issue but no instruction manuals to explain anything. These are easy fixes and I would certainly book again.

The property

The Bothy is an inviting single-storey lodge resting near Leek, Staffordshire, bringing together a lakeside setting, off-road parking, a bubbling hot tub, and a characterful woodburning stove for a memorable family or friends’ escape.

Step onto the decking and take in the water just a short stroll away, where the reflections of the sky and trees set the scene for slow mornings with a coffee and relaxed evenings under the open air.

Inside, the open-plan living space is the heart of the lodge, with its wood-clad walls and welcoming ambience.

The kitchen area is equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and the essentials for easy self-catering, so shared meals become part of the holiday ritual.

Nearby, the dining area invites everyone to gather together, whether you are lingering over breakfast or plotting the next day’s adventures.

After days outside, sink into the seating in the sitting area, let the warmth of the woodburning stove fill the room, and enjoy a film on the Smart TV.

When it is time to turn in, The Bothy offers two restful bedrooms, including a double and a triple bunk room that works well for children, friends, or a mixture of both.

A sleek bathroom with bath, walk-in shower, basin, and WC means you can choose between a long soak or a refreshing rinse.

Outside, the decked terrace with furniture and hot tub is made for unhurried afternoons, whether you are easing into the warm bubbles or watching the light move across the lake.

With a shop and pub within a short drive and the wider Staffordshire countryside waiting to be explored, The Bothy offers a charming base for your next waterside break.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
